Of Christianers, Calmierers, or (pretended) Pilgrims.
HE xxiiijth chapter is about Christianers or Calmierers. These are beggars who wear signs in their hats, especially Roman veronicas, shells, and other tokens, which they sell to each other, in order that it shall be thought they have been in distant cities and foreign parts. For this reason they wear these signs, although they have never come thence, and they deceive people thereby. They are called Calmierers.
